A February thaw teased the Remodelista editors with visions of spring—and spring cleaning—this week. And why not? With a little sleuthing, the mundane can be elevated to magnificent. See our editors’ favorite design-worthy dish soaps, trash cans, and tips for patching and painting nail holes:

White Ceiling Socket Lights
“Sometimes it’s the simple things that are the hardest to find,” writes Alexa. “Take lighting, for example, where it can be a challenge to find unobtrusive, classic modern ceiling fixtures.” She sourced her 10 favorites, ranging in price from $4.35 to $287.87, in this week’s 10 Easy Pieces post.
Display-Worthy Dish Soap
Cleaning should be a pleasure, says Julie, who discovered “a new crop of woodsy, herbal, and lavender-scented all-natural dishwashing liquids.” See them all in this week’s Trend Alert post.

Alexa sleuths sources from a bath in SoHo, New York—proving that the “bright white Scandi-inspired bath never gets old.” See more clever storage and organizing ideas in this week’s Steal This Look post.
